Peer Fitness Challenge

Being physically active can help curb obesity, lower risk for heart disease, reduce stress, and decrease lost work days. One way employers can encourage and promote physical is by hosting a friendly and fun fitness challenge.

A good tool is the USDA’s SuperTracker, a visually appealing state-of-the-art app for phones and tablets. Employees can keep tabs on their physical activity, weight loss and diet, and use the data in friendly competition among individuals or groups.
